דברי הימים א, פרק ח׳, פסוק ל״ט

The ongoing family record traces the continuing lineage, shifting focus to outline the descendants of a man named Eshek. Within the broader family tree, Eshek is identified as the brother of Azel [מצודת דוד, ביאור שטיינזלץ].

The exact identity of Eshek presents an interesting point of discussion regarding the family history. One approach suggests that Eshek is actually another name for a previously mentioned relative, Eleasah. However, the more straightforward understanding is that Eshek is an entirely distinct individual, specifically an additional son of Moza [מלבי״ם]. According to this perspective, the earlier genealogical records did not list every single child born to Moza. Instead, those previous accounts focused exclusively on the most prominent sons, leaving Eshek unmentioned until this specific point in the family line.
